NGSS.MS-LS1-6

Match the following processes to the appropriate description.

• Fungi and bacteria break down dead organisms, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

• Decomposition

• Dead organisms form fossil fuels over thousands of years.

• Cellular Respiration

• Plants and animals produce energy using glucose and release carbon dioxide in the process.

• Combustion

• Plants and algae take in carbon dioxide and convert it into glucose.

• Fossilization

• Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

• Photosynthesis
